'We are better off out'

Conservative David Nuttall says:

We are better off out.

The alternative would be a government led by Jeremy Corbyn, propped up by the Scottish National Party and the Liberal Democrats - barring a political miracle in Scotland - there would be a coalition and he would be held to ransom, regardless of the chaotic views of the Labour party.

'We believe in a first referendum on the deal'

Liberal Democrat Tim Pickstone says:

We're hugely worried about the hard and dangerous Brexit that is being pursued by the other parties.

We absolutely accept the result but we believe we should remain in the single market. We should be able to trade freely and retain the freedom of movement and amazing ability that Brits have to work, study and retire in the EU.

We believe in a first referendum on the deal. We don't believe the politicians should have a final say on the deal, it should be the British people.

'I'm supporting the money being used in a different way'

I knew that Bury Clinical Commisisoning Group had been given more money each year.

You can have an argument about it being underfunded but every year under the Conservative government, more money has gone into it.

I'm supporting the money being used in a different way - I support its closure because the money being used for one walk-in centre... that money would be better spent in improving GP surgeries across the borough.

'This ideology is an idea that needs defeated'

This threat, this ideology is an idea that needs defeated... we have to work together.

This is about education and opportunity... that everybody has access to get on in life.

It's no surprise that there are issues with a number of our communities as they experience policing in a different way to a white guy. I would sit around with each of our communities and ask about the experiences they have with. It's about what we do with them, not to them.
